When I was watching Pope Francis’ funeral on TV today I was very moved by the beautiful panikhída memorial service offered by the patriarchs of the Eastern Catholic churches.

I spent the morning teaching, but I’m watching the playback of the funeral now. Church history is long, and there will be many centuries to determine the legacy of Francis, but now we lay the Holy Father, the successor of St Peter, to rest and there is only prayer and hope in the resurrection. May God bless him and let His light shine upon him, and may He welcome him into the kingdom. Ora pro eo.

Pope Francis was buried today. We still have a duty to pray for his soul. Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him. May his soul, through the mercy of God, rest in peace.
